W3S2 Class

We showed Donald our first draft visual brief today. He was able to confirm with us that we are allowed to continue with three user profiles but said that it would be wise to only have one 'How might we...' question/provocation that could answer all three users' needs. We want to continue with our three profiles as it allows us to show the range within our 'business men and women' audience, and also how three different situations and insights could be solved by one solution. We synthesised our large pool of 'How might we...' questions into one final provocation that addressed all of our user profiles. Our final question is also based on the insights we had on our observation trip to Lambton Quay.

At the end of class we laid our work out on the table and then had the opportunity to go around and look at everyone's work from all of the VCD Streams. It was great to be able to see what everyone else is up to and how everyone is responding to the three readings differently. I personally feel like our class/stream has been more focused on producing quality text elements rather than thinking about visual elements yet, which is very different from the other classes. I am glad that we haven't been pushed to look at the visual side of the presentation and dossier yet as I feel like we have been boiling down our ideas to a real gem, and that we will then be able to focus on the visuals without having to return to the text. It is interesting to see how classes all doing the same project and working in relatively the same space can be doing things very differently.
